Are we talkin' clean as in best headroom no breakup kinda clean?
Do you think 220K or 150K is better for this than the old 100K? (all with the appropriate cathode values of course) I have read comments about this recently but I still feel like I don't have a good understanding of it. Thanks, still learnin' lots here thanks to many of you guys.

For the purpose of this thread, consider "clean" to be whatever you want it to be - pristine or otherwise.

Cool. Loud and no breakup clean. I'm with heisthl, that's how I like it. Gotta go get the iron warm and make some changes :D.

I would run two separate paths, then there are no compromises
